- This paper studies a design workshop that investigates complex collaboration between fundamental physics and design. Our research focuses on how students create original artefacts that bridge the gap between disciplines that have very little in common. Our goal is to study the micro-evolutions of their projects. Elaborating first on Actor Network Theory (Latour, 1996; 2005) we study how students’ projects evolved over time and through a diversity of inputs and media. Throughout this longitudinal study, we use then a semiotic and pragmatic approach to observe three “aesthetical formations”: translation, composition, and stabilization. These formations suggest that the question of material agency developed in the field of archeology and cognitive science (Knappett & Malafouris, 2008) need to be considered in the design field (Renon, 2016) to explain metamorphoses from the brief to the final realizations.

- Fundamental to design education is the creation and structure of curriculum. Neither the creation of design curriculum, nor the revaluation of existing curriculum is well documented. With no clear documentation of precedent, best practices are left open to debate. This paper and presentation will discuss the use of a survey as a research tool to assess existing curriculum at Iowa State University in the United States. This tool allowed the needs and perspectives of the program’s diverse stakeholders to be better understood. Utilizing survey methods, research revealed the convergence and divergence of stakeholders’ philosophies, theories and needs in relation to design curriculum. Accreditation and professional licensing provide base level of guidelines for design curriculum in the United States. However, each program’s curricular structure beyond these guidelines is a complicated balance of resources, facilities, faculty, and the type of institution in which it is housed. Once established, a program’s curriculum is rarely reassessed as a whole, but instead updated with the hasty addition of classes upon an existing curricular structure. Curriculum is infrequently re-addressed, and when it is, it is typically based on the experience and opinions of a select group of faculty. This paper presents how a survey was developed to collect data to inform curricular decision- making, enabling the reduction of faculty bias and speculation in the process. Lessons learned from the development of this research tool will be shared so it might be replicated at other institutions, and be efficiently repeated periodically to ensure currency of a program’s curriculum.

- Decisions made by user interface designers play an influential role in how people interact with software, this is especially true when it comes to the creation of tools to support teaching. As technology continues to play a more prominent role in schools, it poses an important question about how the design of learning tools influence what teachers do in classrooms. Data analytics is one opportunity technology offers for teachers to foster collaboration in student groups. Data analytics have the potential to provide teachers with a live view of what students are doing when using technology, which research shows is challenging to implement in classrooms. This paper focuses on the process to design a tool that assists engineering discussion session teacher assistants (TAs) to monitor collaboration within groups. We report on findings from interviews with TAs on what they anticipate they would need in order to support group work, and discuss how their responses influenced the design of this tool.

- Description/Abstract:
- The deterioration of linguistic abilities is a natural phenomenon along with aging. Therefore, various assessment tools have been developed to measure linguistic abilities of seniors and diagnose degenerative diseases such as dementia. Although most of the tools are composed of images, there are not many studies focusing on the visual design, which could significantly affect performance of the subject. In this regard, this research aims to suggest a design guideline for linguistic ability assessment tools concerning the key characteristics of the elderly, focusing on visual contents and interface. Existing related researches were mostly conducted in English-speaking countries. In order to assess the language processing abilities of Korean-speaking elders more accurately, it is necessary to develop language processing assessment tools that reflect the unique linguistic features and structure of the Korean language. Regarding the existing tools, there is a lack of research on aging, focusing on ‘verb naming. In the literature review section, the paper investigated the physical, cognitive and emotional characteristics of the elderly and extracted the key elements to consider when designing for the elderly. Also, design principles were found based on case studies and problem analysis of the existing assessment tools for language processing abilities. Lastly, we created a prototype model using ‘verb naming.’ Using the model, we have conducted an experiment and comparative analysis between different age groups to verify the validity of contents. In conclusion, we provided a design guideline for visual contents and interface of linguistic assessment tools, focusing on elderly users.

- Description/Abstract:
- Presentation presented at the Ohio Valley Group of Technical Services Librarians on May 19, 2015. Many libraries are withdrawing materials from their government documents collections. The University of Cincinnati Libraries began their withdrawal project by withdrawing tangible materials which had corresponding online equivalent versions. This presentation will explain the catalog search strategies to identify print/online equivalent materials in a collection when starting a withdrawal project. It will also discuss how a library can easily continue this as an ongoing process. There will be information provided on how all new GPO e-resource records are run against a script that identifies if the library owns a tangible equivalent, which then could be a candidate for withdrawal

- Description/Abstract:
- The data stored in this collection were collected during a series of 3 experiments I conducted between 2013 and 2014 to evaluate the effects of population-level extinction within spatial population networks. For each experiment, I used experimental protozoan population networks (microcosms) that used the common pond species Paramecium caudatum as the focal organism. Each network contained five populations aligned linearly and connected to one another through a migration corridor (see image files). The experiments were similar in their basic methods. For example, each experiment consisted of three 10-day periods: pre-extinction, extinction, and reestablishment. In addition, each experiment used 8 networks: four treatment networks and four control networks. During the 10-day extinction period, extinction was maintained on the center population of 4 treatment networks. During the reestablishment period, the center population was allowed to reestablish. The 4 control networks had no extinction imposed. During each experiment I estimated the density of each population within all networks daily as the mean number of paramecia captured in three 0.25 mL samples. The data included in these files shows these density estimates. All calculations used to assess changes in population abundance and dynamics due to extinction were derived from these density estimates. Additional background for each of the 3 experiments (e.g., how the experiments differed) can be found in the ReadMe file. Detailed methods and results from each of these experiments are documented in Chapters 3, 4, and 5 of my dissertation (see Dissertation file).
